Redmondite talks of life in the 1870's: RHS open meeting

History is happening in the Redmond area and we welcome you to our meeting. The Redmond Historical Society will meet on Saturday, March 9, 2013, 10:30 a.m. to noon, at The Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 NE 80 Street, Redmond, WA. 

Andy Weiss will share memories of his European immigrant family which came to Salmonberg (Redmond) in about 1872. He will bring to life what it was like living here at that time, the local culture, no electricity or running water, working in the woods, when the timber companies and railroads were king. Don’t miss this meeting. 

To receive the monthly newsletter, contact the Society office at 425-885-2919, or email your request to info@redmondhistoricalsociety.org. Books, calendars, note cards, free historic walking tour brochures, and the book, “Redmond Reflections,” are available in our office, which is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and by appointment. Visit our website: redmondhistoricalsociety.org.
